Traveller Reviews

The River Manor Guesthouse in Stellenbosch was also very accommodating. As with The Walden House, hot and cold breakfast every morning was a welcome aspect of our stay. The guesthouse was very well situated and walking to the local restaurants that were recommended, as well as around town at night, felt very safe and pleasant. Stellenbosch is a spectacular region and we really enjoyed our time there, we only wish that we had more of it.

River Manor in Stellebosch was fantastic. Actually, they extended our expectations.

Jaime Martens, September 2012

River Manor in Stellenbosch is in a great location, very convenient to walk to the center of town but off the main street so nice and quiet. We were happy with the service and everything there.

I had a spectacular time in Cape Town and Stellenbosch. Thank you for everything. I am in Entabini Safari now and will be doing a race here tomorrow. Accommodations and tours were excellent.
